Audio Inventions are located in the Sussex Innovation Centre on campus, and they are doing some fascinating work in instrument acoustics, machine listening and embedded sound synthesis. They will be talking about their system and showing a demo.

All welcome, from across campus.


Until now there hasn’t been an effective way to silence a woodwind instrument because the sound comes out of any open finger holes as well as the bell, so trumpet-style mutes don’t work.

Freedom Player™ is an electronic practice mute for wind instruments that uses patented technology to ‘blow’ the instrument for you with a high-tech stimulus that we call Digital Breath™. </i>
